I have the 1.75" Rox risers, and I can't seem to get them to fit on the Tenere... The Tenere stocker riser caps are too tall...

How do you get these things to fit? Use the Rox caps in place of stock caps and use the stock caps on top of the risers?

Just wondering.

Dont recall having a problem fitting mine (think there the same size) though I did rotate them backwards (or was it forwards?) to get access to the bolts for tightening , leaving the easy access ones just off tight to allow rotation to the desired position before finally nipping it up.

There is too much interference with the stock caps to even slide these in. Upon doing more research I have found that most go with 2" Rox risers but that requires new hydraulic lines. I am going to go with something smaller. The question is, what? Should I do tour tech and get the 20mm? is that going to be enough?

Ha!

I guess I should have waited, I just picked up a set of Rox offset block risers, 1" up and back.

Just installed the 2" Rox risers and had no issues with the stock caps. Like Macca said, don't tighten up until you find your happy spot. Give yourself room to put an open-end 10mm on the triple clamp bolts. You are going to like the improvement when standing for extended periods and rocking the bar back alleviated the forward lean I was experiencing. I feel like the risers provide even more leverage on the bars for improved offroad control.

Kelvin, I rotated the levers and moved them inboard to give me enough slack in the lines.

...and the one up/one back work fine.
I've got the two inch Rox, stock lines. Went with the 2" because the 1.75" require some work... and I'm 6'2". The lines pull snug, not tight, at full lock, but I don't spend a whole lot of time at full lock.

Apols to the OP it looks like I fitted the 2" riser part no 1R-P2PP , this was the one recommended by the (uk) retailer for the S10.
